• Become a force multiplier by mentoring and leading the team around you
• Participate in an on-call schedule to help our customers experience more live

What you have

• Passion for craftsmanship and product. You have well-considered opinions about how software and reliable infrastructure should work, and hold yourself and your code to a high standard
• Experience building business critical software in a fast-paced environment. We’ll be interested in hearing about what you’ve built and how
• Experience solving complex technical challenges. SeatGeek engineers create custom solutions to unique ticketing problems, including high traffic onsales, interactive venue maps, inventory tracking, and event matching. We’ll be excited to hear about challenging problems you’ve solved
• Experience with Kubernetes, containers, and serverless compute platforms
• Experience with continuous integration, delivery, testing, and code deployment
• Experience using observability tools to make performance improvements and forecast growth
• Experience improving system architecture, diagnosing shortcomings and implementing evidence-based recommendations
